My tenant hasn't missed any rent payments and is always on time, but is late this time around. I could technically charge a late fee, but should I give him a heads up first and see what's up?

Depends. Do they routinely tip the landlord?

See what’s up first. Would feel like a jerk if their mom died and they got distracted.

If they are usually reliable they have a reason, I would reach out first. Charging the fee just because you can if someone is struggling is kinda jerky if you don't need the money.

Yeah if it’s direct deposit they might not know there’s an issue.

How late is it?

Likely due in the 1st. It’s now the fifth.

Many lease consider this to be within the grace period.

First one I would let slide if they pay once reminder, ongoing late payments I would charge the fee

Definitely reach out to check in with them. Honestly, having a good tenant is such a blessing that you often don’t really appreciate until you hear other horror stories 😳. Kindness is never wasted! 💛
